I just need a number line, like so

Can I free that from the Axis object?

`LineAxis` is the object that `Axis` uses. It is missing some defaultattributes without which it will complain, so I’ve set them here. It only works if `endpoints` are on a horizontal or vertical line:

```julia
f = Figure()
MakieLayout.LineAxis(f.scene,
    endpoints = Point2f0[(100, 300), (700, 300)],
    spinecolor = :black,
    labelfont = "Dejavu",
    ticklabelfont = "Dejavu",
    spinevisible = true,
    ticks = Makie.automatic,
    minorticks = IntervalsBetween(5),
    limits = (-1.4, 1.4),
    tickalign = 0.5,
    minortickalign = 0.5,
    ticksize = 15,
    minorticksize = 7.5
)
s = scatter!(f.scene, Point(710, 300, 50), marker = '▴', rotation = -pi/2, markersize = 20)
f

```
